Vegetable Plants

Our vegetable plants offer a great kick-start to your growing season, for kitchen gardens, school gardening clubs, allotment and more.

Our British-grown vegetable plants are chosen based on their taste and growing characteristics, and will only be dispatched once they have been fully hardened off and are ready to grow on at home. More...

If you really like to know where the food that you eat comes from, then you'll be pleased to know that our vegetable plants are produced from the very seeds that we sell! We not only know the provenance of our plants and vegetable seeds, but every vegetable plant we list on the website we actually grow and eat ourselves. This means that we can offer you, our customer, the finest selection of vegetable plants based on flavour and growing characteristics that are best suited to home growing.

The best flavours and greatest growing success can only be achieved when our vegetable plants are grown in season. Every vegetable plant that we offer is grown in our British nursery's vegetable production area, and no matter where we are in the growing calendar, you can guarantee that the plants you purchase will only be dispatched once they have been fully hardened off. This ensures a much higher chance of success, as the vegetable plants will only be available once the time is right to grow them at home.

You might be interested to learn that here at the nursery, we actually have two vegetable gardens. The Display Vegetable Garden is cared for by Mark and Dan and can be viewed by anyone who visits the nursery.

And Victoriana's own Molly and Milly Shirley tend their private 'Girls' Garden', along with parents Serena and Stephen.

Over the years, these two gardens have contributed to our depth of experience and knowledge on vegetable growing that we can pass on to our customers - from allotment growing to family gardening.
